As long as you keep the rock and sand damp you should be fine. Any particular reason you have to drain instead of just pulling the rock?
Sorry, why do you have to drain and refill the tank?
Assuming you don't shock the system (ph/temp/salinity) and cause a mass dieoff (and all the rock is returned), it won't affect the cycle at all.

It may. Depends on how long your rock is out of the tank, junk flushed out of the rock and sand, etc.
I would get some bacteria (Bio Spira is amazing - used at shows by many) and Ammonia treatment (Prime is a fav.) or - at least Prime.
A temp place for all your pets would be a good idea to avoid the crush factor. (Brute garbage can)
So, Plan for the worst and do your best.
Check out BRS video on Aquascape regrets -- you have a chance to glue/ secure your rock and avoid this in the future.
Enjoy the project!
I assume this means your tank is currently cycling? Even if the cycle starts over, it may be worth it to get the rocks sound. If you drain it, you can use reef safe silicon, fiberglass rods, etc to hold the rock work together.
